Train to become a driving instructor with Elite — and start building a business that gives you more say over when you work, who you work with and what your future looks like.

One-to-one training. Experienced local trainers. 36 years of experience. And a guaranteed franchise opportunity when you qualify, without being tied into a long-term contract.

You don’t need teaching experience.

You don’t need to give up your current job to start training.

And you certainly don’t need to make a decision about changing careers today.

You just need to be willing to explore the possibility that there’s a better way to earn a living.

Speak to a real driving instructor trainer. Ask your questions. Find out what’s involved. No sales pressure and no obligation to join.

Here’s a question…

How many more years are you prepared to spend doing a job you no longer enjoy?

Five?

Ten?

Until you retire?

Perhaps you’re tired of the daily routine. The office politics. The targets. The boss who decides when you can take time off.

Maybe you’re earning a reasonable wage, but there’s something missing.

You don’t feel in control.

Or perhaps your circumstances have changed.

You’ve got children. Family responsibilities. Other things that matter more to you than sitting in an office until half past five.

And wouldn’t it be nice if you could organise your working life around some of those things, instead of constantly organising your life around work?

Here’s the problem.

It’s easy to spend years thinking about doing something different.

But the longer you leave it, the harder making a change can seem.

The bills still need paying. You’ve got responsibilities. And starting again in a completely different profession can feel like a big risk.

I understand.

After all, changing careers isn’t something you should rush into.

But what if you could start preparing for a different future while you’re still doing your current job?

That’s where becoming a driving instructor could make sense.

FIND OUT IF BECOMING A DRIVING INSTRUCTOR IS RIGHT FOR ME…

“I wanted to be in control of my own future.”

That’s how Phil, an Elite driving instructor in Hull, described his decision to change careers.

After the company he worked for was taken over, his career started moving in a direction he wasn’t happy with.

The pressure increased.

The enjoyment disappeared.

Eventually, he decided he needed an alternative.

His experience will sound familiar to plenty of people reading this page.

Here’s what you’ll get when you train with Elite.

Over 40 hours of personal, one-to-one in-car training

Real in car coaching with an experienced trainer who can see what you’re doing, explain what needs improving and help you develop your skills.

You’re not competing with a group of other trainees for attention.

The training is focused on you.

10 hours of live, trainer-led theory sessions on Zoom

You’ll work directly with your trainer to develop your understanding of delivering lessons and prepare for the qualification process.

You can ask questions, discuss problems and get explanations instead of being left to work through everything alone.

Genuine Grade A instructor trainers

You’ll be taught by people who know the job, understand the qualification process and have successfully helped other people become instructors.

That’s rather different from simply handing you a training manual and wishing you luck.

Telephone and email support between sessions

Because questions don’t always come conveniently at the start of your next training appointment.

Sometimes you’re studying at home and something doesn’t make sense.

Sometimes you finish a session and remember something you wanted to ask.

With Elite, you can contact your trainer for help rather than being left wondering until your next appointment.

Local knowledge and local training

Wherever practical, your training is based around the areas in which you’ll be learning and potentially working.

That means guidance from people who understand the local roads, driving environment and the realities of teaching learners in your area.

A structured course that works around your commitments

Most people considering a career change can’t simply walk away from their existing job.

You’ve got bills to pay.

We get that.

So we structure your training and arrange sessions around your availability wherever possible.

You can work towards a new career without assuming you have to give up your existing income.

Help with building your business when you qualify

Getting qualified is an important milestone.

But it’s not the end of the journey.

We can help you understand the business side of being a driving instructor, including how our franchise operates, the support available and what it takes to develop a sustainable driving school business.

A guaranteed Elite franchise opportunity, without long-term contractual ties

Once you’ve qualified, you’ll have the opportunity to join the Elite driving school franchise, subject to the agreed franchise terms.

You’ll be self-employed, running your own driving instructor business with the support of an established driving school.

And you won’t be forced into a long-term franchise contract simply because you trained with us.
